One gentleman said that I want to be peaceful. I asked him, when was he last peaceful. He went back into memory lane and realized he did not know what peace was. He had everything. A big business and satisfaction of making it from scratch, a wife who served him like God and a son who always listened to him. He was big in charity but he felt incomplete. He said that he could not sleep in the nights. He looked at everything with great aggression like so what? If someone did something for him, he felt, so what, someone else would have done this. His wife took care of him, so what, it is her duty. But the big question was what if she would not have done? He would have hired a nurse. But what if you did not have money to hire one. But then something must would have happened. Now the reverse side of it! What if you do something for someone, do you expect something in return. He was full of something in head and said that no, he did not. So he paid and I told him, so what, big deal! Someone would have paid. I helped you, so anyway you had to pay. He was shocked and accepted that he felt bad. He said that, but no one does that on face. Yes, but where is the difference. Inside you feel same. So what did he expect? A thank you with a smile. Exactly, this is what Universe expects and you have to do.
So he went home and started writing thank yous for everything. Soon he was a changed man. HE realized how much he had and he realized how blessed he was. He was feeling peaceful that he had everything. He realized how happy his wife was now. He wondered was he killing everyone’s happiness? He found peace with gratitude. That brought him happiness too. Realizing he had everything that anyone could ask for.
Be happy, be grateful, be peaceful!
